Brew #2 of Vial Smasher. Still semi-competitive spell-based control but without divergent combo, instead trying to get value from Curiosity + Guttersnipe and similar effects. Silas Renn is still here for color identity, rebuilding ramp after boardwipes, and some cute synergy with cards like Tormod's Crypt or Mind Stone . I like the ideas of having a combo finish of Pingers + Dramatic Scepter and scaling up "Pay X" counterspells as the game goes on to deal more damage with Vial Smasher the Fierce .
